TO i don't know about you but I would rather have Pietrus any second of any minute of any hour of any day of any month of any year. Pietrus can play DEFENCE. I don't even think that word is in Krapono's vocabulary

usually when a player goes to the rim sometimes a help defender comes
hence there is an open player on the perimeter
thats just one example
if you are a threat to score or rebound the opposing team notices and double teams will become more common

I never said I prefer Kapono
I said Pietrus was the lesser of two evils
In Orlando he gets utilized, who says the coaching staff of the raps will use him effectivley
I don't think the raps would do much better w/ him
Its not like we missed out on an all star SG
so guys, don't cry about it

Not signing Mickael Pietrus is one of the few qualms I have with BC. After the New jersey series it was apparent that we needed a guy who could get to the rim and guard the Vince Carters and Kobe Bryants of the league and I was sure that with a solid perimeter player we'd be contenders. I wasn't on board with the Kapono signing when it happened, and I don't understand what could have caused BC to think that Kapono would contribute more than Pietrus. Hell, Pietrus is more effective from three than Jason is.
